Pairing
Pairing is the process by which a scanner initiates communication with a cradle. Scanning
Multipoint-to-Point activates multi scanner-to-cradle operation and allows up to seven scanners
to pair to one cradle.
To pair the scanner with the cradle, scan the pairing symbol. A high/low/high/low beep
sequence indicates that the pairing symbol was decoded. When a connection between the
cradle and scanner is established, a low/high beep sounds.
1. The pairing symbol that connects the scanner to a cradle is unique to each cradle.
2. Do not scan data or parameters until pairing completes.
3. Only when the scanner is paired to the cradle, it automatically tries to reconnect to a
remote device when a disconnection occurs that is due to the radio losing communication.
Pairing Modes
Parameter # 542
When operating with the cradle, two modes of pairing are supported:
• Locked Pairing Mode - When a cradle is paired (connected) to the scanner (or up to
seven scanners in Multipoint-to-Point mode), any attempt to connect a different scanner,
by either scanning the PAIR symbol on the cradle or by inserting it into the cradle with
the pairing on contacts feature enabled, is rejected. The currently connected scanner(s)
maintain connection. In this mode, you must set a Connection Maintenance Interval.
• Unlocked Pairing Mode - Unlocking works in Point-to-Point mode only. Pair (connect) a
new scanner to a cradle at any time by either scanning the PAIR symbol on the cradle or
by inserting it into the cradle with the pairing on contacts feature enabled. This unpairs
the previous scanner from the cradle.
To set the cradle pairing mode, scan the appropriate programming symbol below.
